Mix-It Up Mondays ~~ A Little Late Catch-Up, and a Wonderful Painted Autumn!

Hello Fellow Stampers ~

As promised earlier today, here is a "late" Mix-It Up Mondays post to catch-up from yesterday's Labor Day Holiday off. We're getting back on track here at DDS Studios, and so looking forward to all the beautiful fun we have ahead!

I'm continuing my focus on the Painted Autumn Suite in the new 2017 Holiday Occasions Catalog. Last week I showed you how to "fussy cut" the sunflowers out of the Painted Autumn DSP for a wonderful card. You can see more on that card HERE.

Today we're going to create some fun bookmarks (or tags, whichever is your preference). I'm going to have to make a few more of these; they were so much fun! And so relaxing to put together while I watched a little TV and enjoyed a cool September evening in my Studio. These pretty little pumpkins are all fussy cut from the fabulous Painted Autumn designer series paper - You HAVE to have this paper!! This project is overflowing with a bounty of new products; let's take a closer look! 😉

These little bookmarks/tags are cut from Very Vanilla cardstock, 2" x 4-1/4" - and punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. Then the little "tag" background for the pumpkin bunches is created from Peekabook Peach cardstock and using the brand new Everyday Label Punch. Oh my!! The pumpkins are fussy cut -- and are pretty easy to do. The little pumpkin in the front is popped with a dimensional, while the set of 3 pumpkins was SNAIL'd right to the punched label.

Then I pulled out a couple of new stamp sets and had some more fun!! LOL The sweet sentiment is from the new Gourd Goodness stamp set, stamped in Tangerine Tango on Very Vanilla, and punched out with the Classic Label Punch (you can find this in the Annual Catalog). I sponged the edges of that tag with Soft Suede before attached it behind the popped pumpkin with a glue dot. The leaves (both the fern in the background and the punched leaves), are from the Painted Harvest stamp set. The punched leaves are stamped with the 2-step leaf in Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive on Very Vanilla, and punched out with the new Leaf Punch. So easy and fun!! Finished off with a few strategically placed pearls, and a nice piece of Peekaboo Peach 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, this little tag/bookmark is ready to adorn a package, or a keep a spot in a special book! Wouldn't you love to receive this as a gift?

So here's a fun fact about this project; other than fussy cutting the pumpkins, this entire project uses punches to create the pieces and parts. Let's review the punches uses in this project:

Scallop Tag Topper Punch

Everyday Label Punch

Classic Label Punch

Leaf Punch

I love punches. They make life so easy -- and projects so much fun. Two of these punches are brand new in your 2017 Holiday Occasions Catalog. Don't miss them!! You'll love having them in your collection. Have a question about today's project? I'm only an email away! Don't hesitate to contact me.

Tomorrow is My Favorite Things from the Holiday Occasions Catalog -- be sure to pop back in for a visit!
